You are missing the whole point of an AT.  ATs have no inherit power,
they arn't even officialy gentoo people(yet).  All an AT can do is
comment on the particular piece of software in question.

An arch team(not AT) could disregard the package maintainers thoughts
and move said package to stable before the maintainer does on his arch.
~ However, this should be the exception, and not the rule.

Realisticly, if people stop being asses and work together, then a
consensus should allways be possible.  Only when people don't work
together does a situation like this arise.

The formation of a x86 arch team should be viewed as additional help to
maintainers who use x86, as well as act as the group that keywords for
x86 for those devs who don't use x86 as their arch.
